Marl city plans to develop the "Am Alten Pütt" area in Hüls under a new development plan.
In the heart of Marl, Germany, plans are underway to redevelop a 6.5 hectare industrial area, with a focus on sustainable development. The new building plan aims to harmoniously integrate the former locomotive repair workshop into the existing industrial area, while securing commercial use in a manner that enhances leisure and recreational value for citizens.
The required costs for expert opinions will be covered from the current city budget, and the planning area, which borders the event hall "La Victoria" to the west, existing railway tracks to the north, green spaces to the east, and "Am Alten Puetten" street and adjacent residential buildings on Victoriastraße to the south, will undergo a full procedure with an environmental review.
The new plan corresponds to the goals of the overarching land use plan, and potential medium-sized companies will receive planning clarity with the new plan. Existing and necessary compensation measures will be taken for the new concept.
One of Germany's largest chemical sites, the Marl Chemical Park, is already at the forefront of sustainable development, with the recent completion of a 50 km hydrogen pipeline that integrates climate-neutral green hydrogen into the park. This project, which involved converting an existing natural gas pipeline and adding new sections, supports the use of renewable energy-based green hydrogen, signalling a future-oriented, sustainable development direction focused on reducing fossil fuel dependency in chemical production.
While the new plan for the 6.5 hectare industrial area does not currently provide specific details about potential businesses beyond chemical industries, leisure or recreational amenities, environmental review procedures, or public involvement, it aligns with the broader sustainable development vision for Marl.
The public will be involved early in the process, with opportunities for citizens to submit suggestions and statements on the draft building plan. A bike path connecting Auguste Victoria 1/2 quarter with "Vater Unser Weg" is planned to promote leisure and recreational use.
The cancellation of the previous plan No. 190a by the Administrative Court of Gelsenkirchen prompted the need for a new plan due to a lack of a planning basis in the previous plan. The planning area does not currently have a legally binding planning basis.
The new plan aims to secure commercial use in a sustainable manner and enhance leisure and recreational value for citizens. However, specific details about the businesses, leisure/recreational amenities, environmental review procedures, and public involvement for this particular industrial development are not available in the current search results. Further information would likely be found through local government or industrial park planning documents directly from Marl authorities.
The new plan, aligning with the broader sustainable development vision for Marl, will be funded from the city budget and aims to secure commercial use, particularly from medium-sized companies in sectors like finance or business. To ensure a harmonious integration of the industry sector, the plan includes leisure and recreational value enhancements, such as a bike path connecting Auguste Victoria 1/2 quarter with "Vater Unser Weg".
